"Xbox Live - Me Want"

Considering asking for an Xbox for Christmas at very short notice due to your ramblings of it in this forum. Damn you all.

What are the essential Xbox Live games?

I'm talking about the ones which actually have decent online play and alot of variety online. Because I'll be purchasing mainly for Live, so not wanting to get bored of it quick.

MM3's great fun online.
Shame about offline.

HOWEVER, most Xbox packs do MM3 and Halo together, so meh.

Top Spin is full of freaks who are far too good, I'm currently ranked 30,182nd out of about 32,000.

That's all I have knowledge on, but R6 3 shall be heading my way early this week, so yey.

Mistown Madness 3 can be good but only with a headset and people to talk to...

Cat and Mouse is more about luck than anything else - on Nurburgring (sp) it's genius...

Only ones I'd consider out of that are Halo 2 and Top Spin.

Not really wanting a serious racing game like PGR, MSR didn't really do anything for me.

Was looking at Top Spin yesterday however, I'd enjoy that online. It has lovely Anna in it too.

I'd like to know what these games offer online:

Counter-Strike (though the graphical front is supposed to be poo)
Midtown Madness 3?
Capcom VS SNK 2 EO
Unreal Championship
Top Spin
XIII
Moto GP 2
Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Tides of War
Brute Force

"you know my girlfriends dead - yeah, she fell off a cliff and died on impact"

or

"young man, can I trouble you for a warm glass of milk - it helps me sleep"
"you can trouble me for a warm glass of SHUT THE HELL UP!"

I really can't wait to get this, although I suspect it'll be one of those chucking the joypad at the wall affairs.

one thing that bugs me about my live communicator, I keep catching my arm on the headset wire, pulling the headset off and nearly my ear with it.

there must be a solution.

"Yeah, and Grizzly Adams had a beard"
"Grizzly Adams did have a beard."

The ultimate:
"I eat pieces of s**t like you for breakfast"
"You eat pieces of s**t for breakfast?"
"No...I, er....."

PGR2, with a game of cat and mouse = genius

"Son of a bi*ch ball, why don't you just go home? ARE YOU TOO GOOD FOR YOUR HOME??? ANSWER ME!!!!"

I find the racing games raelly boring. You know after the first half-lap who's going to win and that you're going to lose! Everyone's so efficient at it. Topspin is brilliant though, I like to imagine that I'm in an Adam Sandler movie, and I'm the only cool player and the rest are geeks and nerds, but I'll eventually learn to love the sport for it's friendly and competitive nature, and the people will become my own.
